Nice! 5.3% drop! Fingers crossed for all the other insurances to follow 🤞

Good one! & hell of a view!

ALL are welcome! Whether you only want to wrench, only want to ride, or both! If you're curious what it's like - check out our last one from 2022:

How about some group wrenching & a ride to kick off the season? (Yea I know, some of us are already riding...) WHAT: A day to perform various light maintenance on motorcycles, then a group ride afterwards. Examples of "light maintenance": changing oil, changing brake pads, chain / sprocket replacements, motorcycle wash & dry, chain clean & lube, adjust suspension, install a horn etc. You will ride to the garage, and ride out with the group as we finish. WHY: To be a resource for tri-state riders who: Don't have tools and/or a place to work on their motorcycle. Do have tools and/or a place to work, but enjoy wrenching with others. Just want to hang out, watch & learn from each other. WHERE: I'm willing to host at my house. I have most tools, a motorcycle lift, universal stands, chain tool/belt gauge, etc. WHEN: To be decided by this poll. Barring the unknown, it'll be the date with the most votes. Time of day TBD closer to the date as discussed in this topic. Anything I haven't addressed? Let me know... Important: We're hobbyists who love motorcycles & enjoy wrenching on our own. Attendees are self-taught people who learn from the web, forums, YouTube, etc. There will be no mechanics, certified professionals or similar attending. The person who rides the bike to the event - and only that person - is wholly responsible for that bike and anything done in the garage. This includes any and all damage, accidental or otherwise. You must ride out with the group as the day finishes. This is not for long-term projects or storage.

Some info that might be relevant? Motorcycle: 2021 Ducati SuperSport 950S Rider: 39 years old, male Full Coverage or Liability: Full coverage Policy Changes: Not a single one! I just got my 2023 renewal notice from Progressive. I know tons of factors influence the base price (specific coverage levels, deductibles, marital status, etc)... But I'm less concerned with cost and more surprised by this 35% discount I had no clue I'd be getting... Is it just because I'm turning 40 this year?!?! Is that a magic milestone for moto insurance premiums?!?!!! Any ideas?

I've had LED accent lights on a few bikes. Even when turned off, it's not uncommon for them to have a slight parasitic drain. If that's your problem, you can either re-wire them to an ignition switched power source or simply hook a battery tender up if you won't be riding for a while. In my experience, an otherwise healthy electrical system + healthy battery + LED parasitic drain can go a couple weeks of non-riding before you get issues with the battery level (that is, a couple of weeks before you need to hook up the battery tender). But that'll vary of course. Best solution is the ignition switched wiring. I've also had 2 different wireless phone chargers on 2 different bikes. Both of those chargers had in-line "off" switches, and BOTH still had parasitic drain even of switched off! These were reputable brand chargers, not knock-offs. Options were the same as above.

Oh man... Electrical scares me... Did the bike start / crank during this? What type of LEDs? Like, extra added lights? Or replacing OEMs with LEDs? Definitely. I also with cars were as cheap as bikes. And gas mileage!

Hey @SunshineGrrl! Welcome back after 8 years! And congrat on the Shadow - such awesome bikes. How much work is "a little bit"? 😊
